Librarian blog activity manifests itself in any of these ways: contributing to one’s own institutional library blog, maintaining a personal librarian blog, reading blogs about librarianship or peripheral fields. Subscribing to librarian blogs is a vital component of a strategic process for keeping up. One can choose from a variety of blogs for obtaining news and information (Peter Scott’s Library Blog, LISNews, Kept-Up Academic Librarian), keeping alert to recent technology developments (ALA Techsource Blog, Infodoodads, Phil Bradley’s Blog), or staying abreast with the latest commentary on the profession (ACRLog, Walt at Random, The Ubiquitous Librarian).

This paper contributes to the development of our theoretical understanding of knowledge work by exploring use of weblogs for professional purposes: as personal knowledge repositories, learning journals or networking instruments. We draw on the results of a weblog adoption study to explore knowledge worker activities and to propose a framework for analysing knowledge work.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/244a2851ead1f12a937f54aa22a26a1ae/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-24T19:44:08+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Baptista">Ana Alice Baptista</a>, and <a href="/author/Ferreira">Miguel Ferreira</a> </span><em>D-Lib Magazine</em> (<em>May 2007</em>)Wed Oct 24 19:44:08 CEST 2007D-Lib MagazineMay/June5/6Tea for Two: Bringing Informal Communication to Repositories132007imported Although informal communication has always been a part of scholarly communication, its value as an important means for sharing perceptions and knowledge has not always been recognized or properly put to good use. Three add-ons for the DSpace platform have been developed under the "DSpace Dev@University of Minho" project. The next natural step is to further develop and integrate the features of these add-ons into a new cross-repository service that allows knowledge to be transferred across communities in a broader and improved way and to provide better means to access comprehensive information about communication relationships between scholarly entities. Some of the changes that will have to be made to the current features of these add-ons in order to implement such a system have been identified and described in this article. We also present the rationale that supports the vision of a system that accommodates the add-ons developed. Such a system will provide an informal communication layer at the top of the existing network of repositories directly connected to the formal one. In addition, some changes are proposed to the way the Web of Communication is calculated and depicted in order to provide more qualitative information about the communication relationships between scholars.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d5299edc5efe8357f2dfa455130814a3/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-24T19:43:24+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Zivkovic">Bora Zivkovic</a> </span>(<em>April 2006</em>)Wed Oct 24 19:43:24 CEST 2007Science and PoliticsAprilPublishing hypotheses and data on a blog-is it going to happen on science blogs?2006imported What is a science blog? I guess there are as many definitions as there are science blogs, but in general, I see science blogs defined (by other bloggers) in two ways: by topic-matter and by authority of the author. Thus, a science blogs is one that always, often, or at least sometimes covers science as a topic. Or, a science blog is one written by a person with some expertise in science, e.g., a practicing scientist, a student, or perhaps a science journalist. You can sample the diversity of science blogs if you check out these linkfests: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, so you can make up your own mind about the definition. So, I've been reading science blogs for quite a while now. How do they differ from other blogs? What, if anything is missing? Are there any trends that may predict the future of science blogging? I was going to make a lot of links to a lot of blogs to provide the examples, but this post will never get finished if I tried to do that. Instead, I'll link to a few blogs where particularly relevant, provide some examples from my own blogging because it is easy for me to find around here, and for the rest, following the links in the linkfests just above will have to do. So, what kinds of posts are found on science blogs? Let's see, very roughly in increased degrees of "professionalism", or "expertise":http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2a10342492af9182607190cfafb994e30/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-24T19:39:13+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Schmidt">Jan Schmidt</a> </span><em>Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication</em> (<em>2007</em>)Wed Oct 24 19:39:13 CEST 2007Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication4Blogging practices: An analytical framework122007imported This article proposes a general model to analyze and compare different uses of the blog format. Based on ideas from sociological structuration theory, as well as on existing blog research, it argues that individual usage episodes are framed by three structural dimensions of rules, relations, and code, which in turn are constantly (re)produced in social action. As a result, "communities of blogging practices" emerge—that is, groups of people who share certain routines and expectations about the use of blogs as a tool for information, identity, and relationship management. This analytical framework can be the basis for systematic comparative and longitudinal studies that will further understanding of similarities and differences in blogging practices.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/275c9a650d12001ee21ae0d08752c6b89/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-24T19:36:38+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Rosenthal">David S.H.

I apologize in advance for the length of this post, which is a follow-up. As I wrote it new aspects kept emerging and more memories of the discussion came back. In his perceptive position paper for the workshop, Don Waters cites a fascinating paper by Harley et al. entitled "The Influence of Academic Values on Scholarly Publication and Communication Practices". I'd like to focus on two aspects of the Harley et al paper: * They describe a split between "in-process" communication which is rapid, flexible, innovative and informal, and "archival" communication. The former is more important in establishing standing in a field, where the latter is more important in establishing standing in an institution. * They suggest that "the quality of peer review may be declining" with "a growing tendency to rely on secondary measures", "difficult[y] for reviewers in standard fields to judge submissions from compound disciplines", "difficulty in finding reviewers who are qualified, neutral and objective in a fairly closed acacdemic community", "increasing reliance ... placed on the prestige of publication rather than ... actual content", and that "the proliferation of journals has resulted in the possibility of getting almost anything published somewhere" thus diluting "peer-reviewed" as a brand. In retrospect, I believe Malcolm Read made the most important observation of the workshop when he warned about the coming generational change in the scholarly community, to a generation which has never known a world without Web-based research and collaboration tools. These warnings are particularly important because of the inevitable time lags in developing and deploying any results from the policy changes that the workshop's report might advocate. Late in the workshop I channeled my step-daughter, who is now a Ph.D. student. Although I was trying to use her attitudes to illuminate the coming changes, in fact she is already too old to be greatly impacted by any results from the workshop. She was in high school as the Web was exploding. The target generation is now in high school, and their equivalent experience includes blogs and MySpace. I'd like to try to connect these aspects to Malcolm's warnings and to the points I was trying to communicate by channeling my step-daughter. In my presentation I used as an example of "Web 2.0 scholarship" a post by Stuart Staniford, a computer scientist, to The Oil Drum blog, a forum for discussion of "peak oil" among a diverse group of industry professionals and interested outsiders, like Stuart. See comments and a follow-on post for involvement of industry insiders. I now realize that I missed my own basic point, which is: Blogs are bringing the tools of scholarly communication to the mass market, and with the leverage the mass market gives the technology, may well overwhelm the traditional forms.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/22a7b9111c3bb9b0a2d1818b7092ad9bf/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-23T23:35:26+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Nentwich">Michael Nentwich</a> </span><em>Austrian Academy of Sciences, </em><em>Illustrate edition, </em>(<em>December 2003</em>)Tue Oct 23 23:35:26 CEST 2007Illustrate12Cyberscience: Research In The Age Of The Internet2003imported Cyberscience will be different from traditional science. For two decades already, the scholarly community has witnessed a considerable increase in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). As opposed to "traditional" science that does without networked computers, the notion of "cyberscience" captures the use of these ICT-based applications and services for scientific purposes. The basic assumption of this study is that ICT use impacts on the basic parameters of how academia is organised, of how it functions, and of what it produces. This book describes and analyses the use of ICT in the academic world; it explains the status quo based on an analytical model; it draws a realistic and differentiated picture of probable future developments; it assesses the impact of ICT on various aspects of academic activity and on the substance of research; and it discusses the implications for research policy and the steering mechanisms within scholarly organisations. The overall conclusion is that we are in midstream of a forceful development. Cyberscience is already taking place, but will only develop its full shape and potential later. The new media have only just begun to play a central role in a large array of scholarly activities, and in regard to the institutional setting. Not only academic communication in the narrow sense, but also the distribution of knowledge and, most importantly, even knowledge production are affected. Hence, the impact of ICT can hardly be underrated.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2c9667cceb1987a9c493ebae1762cf5e5/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-23T23:30:24+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Paquet">Sébastien Paquet</a> </span>(<em>October 2002</em>)Tue Oct 23 23:30:24 CEST 2007Seb's Open ResearchOctoberPersonal knowledge publishing and its uses in research2002imported In this document, I analyze an emerging form of knowledge sharing that I call personal knowledge publishing. Personal knowledge publishing has its roots in a practice known as "weblogging" that has been rapidly spreading on the World Wide Web over the last three years. It is a new form of communication that many expect will change the way people work and collaborate, especially in areas where knowledge and innovation play an important role. If you are a researcher or knowledge worker who is not very familiar with weblogging and personal knowledge publishing, reading this document should help you grasp the significance of this practice and better understand how you might benefit from getting involved in personal knowledge publishing. Although the emphasis is on research work, most of the ideas generalize to other kinds of creative knowledge work where knowledge sharing plays a role. In the first section, I describe what weblogs are, and explain how they are altering communication patterns on the Web. The second section focuses on personal knowledge publishing and similarly describes the new patterns of communication that this practice is giving birth to. In particular, I explain how these patterns can facilitate the emergence of new communities of knowledge. I also point out the current limitations of personal knowledge publishing. I review the most important points in the conclusion.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/20ac3a5506ad82eb0e3fb39e7bab263c2/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-23T23:25:32+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Jensen">Michael Jensen</a> </span><em>The Chronicle of Higher Education</em> <em>53(41):B6</em> (<em>June 2007</em>)Tue Oct 23 23:25:32 CEST 2007The Chronicle of Higher EducationJune41B6The New Metrics of Scholarly Authority532007imported When the system of scholarly communications was dependent on the physical movement of information goods, we did business in an era of information scarcity. As we become dependent on the digital movement of information goods, we find ourselves entering an era of information abundance. In the process, we are witnessing a radical shift in how we establish authority, significance, and even scholarly validity. That has major implications for, in particular, the humanities and social sciences.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d93d6cd0c6f54ad65fc0216f37f756d4/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-23T23:17:08+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Ewins">Rory Ewins</a> </span><em>E-Learning</em> <em>2(4):368--377</em> (<em>2005</em>)<em>doi = 10.2304/elea.2005.2.4.368, ISSN = 1741-8887 . </em>Tue Oct 23 23:17:08 CEST 2007E-Learningdoi = {10.2304/elea.2005.2.4.368}, ISSN = {1741-8887}4368--377Who are You? Weblogs and Academic Identity22005imported The weblog format has increasingly been adopted by academics in recent years, both as a teaching tool and to disseminate and discuss their own research interests. Academics are turning to blogs to exchange ideas about their discipline, their wider field, the academy, and beyond. Doing so, however, raises questions about personal identity with implications for life beyond the blog. Academics, because of the public nature of weblogs, the self-reflection encouraged by the form, and their analytical frame of mind, serve as useful case studies in exploring these questions. This article explores what it means to have an online identity in the light both of works by two commentators on identity in the postmodern world, Madan Sarup and Walter Truett Anderson, and of the author's own experience of blogging over the past five years. Weblogs, while they afford opportunities for identity construction and reconfiguration, can end up changing their authors' sense of identity in ways they may not expect.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/28462aa80d315adc8370189659926e16c/sciencebloglibrariansciencebloglibrarian2007-10-23T23:11:03+02:00imported <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Bar-Ilan">Judit Bar-Ilan</a> </span><em>WWW Alt. &#039;04: Proceedings of the 13th international World Wide Web conference on Alternate track papers \&amp; posters, </em><em>page 28--34. </em><em>New York, NY, USA, </em><em>ACM Press, </em>(<em>2004</em>)Tue Oct 23 23:11:03 CEST 2007New York, NY, USAWWW Alt.
